Home/Where to stay/Sedbergh/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Sedbergh
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star stays in Sedbergh, from a 5-star farm property on Cautley Road to 4-star cottages around Bushby Yard, Kings Court and The Folly. It is written for travellers who want a self-catering base in this corner of the Yorkshire Dales.
Staying in Sedbergh
Sedbergh is a small country town, and the properties on this shortlist sit in and around it rather than in a single hotel quarter. Boskins stands on Cautley Road at Scrogg House Farm, Howgill Cottage on Loftus Hill, Pine Cottage at 1 Bushby Yard and The Folly at 7 The Folly, all in the town itself. Hollins House is further out at Cowgill, St Marks Stays at Cautley, and 3 Settlebeck Cottages and Piggy Bank Cottage at Settlebeck and 4 Kings Court.
The mix is almost entirely cottages and house-style stays with kitchens, so this list suits families and groups who want to cook and settle in for a short break, and couples who want space rather than a room. Most take pets, and several have fireplaces, gardens or terraces. With free parking nearly everywhere, it works well for travellers arriving by car and exploring on foot from their door.
